Pros

401 matches 8 to 8 percent.

Cons

People are disrespectful and they think it's ok. If you are apart of the committees you will move up. Not a diverse organization in management. If you do see a minority as a manager, give it 6 months to a year they will get rid of you. I have seen it happen twice and they think nothing of it. A true good old boys club that make the rules as they please. By the way HR is just as bad and apart of the click. If you want to make a difference in an organization, this is not the place for you especially if you are a minority. You just won't last. Stay Away.. The whole management department needs to be cleaned out. That is the only way change will our. It would be great if the union would come in.

Thank you for the review. To guide personal development and performance we have a well-established people development process in place, for example focusing on career planning conversations based on mid and long-term development. In terms of career advancement, we put a lot of effort into making career opportunities visible to our employees and helping people find new opportunities within the company. When hiring, we always look at internal candidates, promoting from within whenever possible.
